Thanks! I've read a bunch of posts about the HV10 because I'm comparing it to the HC3.

Video wise I think I get the picture (no pun...), but I would love to hear opinions especially from owners about the AUDIO. I read where there is motor noise.

I want to use this guerilla style so am not bothered too much by no mic inputs, but would have doubts if motor noise is an issue when taping conversations, etc.

There've been some great posts, I've enjoyed reading them.

thanks,

I had the HC3 before selling it and I honestly find no big difference between the audio on it and the HV10. But the HV10 picture is much better IMO.

I can't hear any motor noise. Done tests in an enclosed small bathroom, shooting small candle in the dark, very silent, camera on a tripod, triggering the record button with the remote. No motor noise.

That statement has made me even more excited about my decisin to go with the HV10 over the HC3!!

Sweet!
